SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE! The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. Work Area Safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo- spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and by-standers away while operat- ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never mod ify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accor- dance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Unmodi fied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur- faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig- erators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi- tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. Safety Symbols In this operator’s manual and on the product, safety symbols and signal words are used to communicate important safe- ty information.

• The text used in the General Power Tool Safety Warnings section of this manual is verbatim, as required, from the applicable UL/CSA 62841-1 edition stan- dard. This section contains general safety practices for many different types of power tools. Not every precaution applies to every tool, and some do not apply to this tool.940-707-010.10_REV. G 3

• When operating a power tool outside, use an out- door extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

• Australia: If operating a power tool in a damp loca- tion is unavoidable, use a Residual Current Device (RCD) protected supply. Use of a RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

• Australia: It is recommended that the tool always be supplied via a Residual Current Device having a residual current of 30mA or less. Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com- mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A mo - ment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn- ing the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in per- sonal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal- ance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. 700 Power Drive Power Tool Use and Care

• Do not force power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use power tool if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s op - er ation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main- tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into ac - count the working conditions and the work to be performed. The use of the power tool for operations dif- ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Model 700 Power Drive is designed to pro- vide power for threading pipe and conduit. Forward and Reverse rotation can be selected with a reversible switch. The power drive is designed to use RIDGID 12-R Die Heads (1/8" – 2" pipe). Other RIDGID die heads such as the OO-R and 11-R can be used with adapters. When threading 1" or larger pipe, a support device, such as the No. 775 Support Arm or a RIDGID 14" heavy duty pipe wrench is required to resist the threading forces. The power drive can also be used to power the RIDGID 258 Pipe Cutter and for other applications, (See “Other Uses”). Figure 1 – Model 700 Power Drive Specications Threading Capacity ....Pipe

• Follow instructions on proper use of this machine. Read and understand the instructions and warn- ings for all equipment and material being used before operating the power drive. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions may result in property dam- age and/or serious injury.

• When threading 1" (25mm) or larger pipe, use sup port device to resist threading forces. Use an appropriate support device per these instructions. Support devices improve control and reduce the risk of striking, crushing, and/or other injuries.

• When using a support device other than the support arm, the support device must react against the motor housing. Support devices contacting other parts may damage the machine parts or increase the risk of injury.

• Always firmly hold the power drive when threading or backing die head off the pipe to resist threading forces, regardless of support device use. This will reduce the risk of striking, crushing and other injuries.

• Do not use this power drive if switch button is broken. This switch is a safety device that lets you shut off the motor by releasing the switch.

• Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when oper- ating machines. Keep sleeves and jackets but- toned. Do not reach across the machine or pipe. Clothing can be caught by the pipe or machine result- ing in entanglement.

• One person must control the work process and machine operation. Only the operator should be in the work area when the machine is running. This helps reduce the risk of injury.

• Do not use dull or damaged dies. Sharp cutting tools require less torque and the power drive is easier to control.

• Keep handles dry and clean, free from oil and grease. Allows for better control of tool..

• Keep floors dry and free of slippery materials such as oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.

• Only use RIDGID die heads with RIDGID 700 Power Drive, other die heads may not fit correctly in the power drive increasing the risk of equipment dam- age and personal injury.

• When using for applications other than described in this manual, use a support device to resist han- dle forces. Support devices improve control and reduce the risk of striking, crushing, and/or other injuries.

• Refer to your machine serial number plate for motor information for your specificmachine – Other versions are available.** Sound and vibration measurements are measured in accordance with a stan-dardized test per Standard EN 62481-1.- Vibration levels may be used for comparison with other tools and for preliminaryassessment of exposure.- Sound and vibration emissions may vary due to your location and specific useof these tools.- Daily exposure levels for sound and vibration need to be evaluated for eachapplication and appropriate safety measures taken when needed. Evaluationof exposure levels should consider the time a tool is switched off and not in use.This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Standard Equipment The Model 700 Power Drive comes with the following items:

• 700 Power Drive • Torque arm

• Support Device • Operator’s Manual Figure 2 – Machine Serial Number The 700 Power Drive machine serial number plate is located on the bottom of motor housing. The last 4 digits indicate the month and year of the manufacture. (MM = month, YY = year). Selection of appropriate materials and instal- lation, joining and forming methods is the responsibility of the system designer and/or installer. Selection of improp- er materials and methods could cause system failure. Stainless steel and other corrosion resistant materials can be contaminated during installation, joining and form- ing. This contamination could cause corrosion and pre- mature failure. Careful evaluation of materials and methods for the specific service conditions, including chemical and temperature, should be completed before any installation is attempted. Pre-Operation Inspection WARNING Before each use, inspect your 700 Power Drive and correct any problems to reduce the risk of serious injury from electric shock, crushing injuries and other causes and prevent power drive damage.

1. Make sure that the power drive is unplugged.

2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the power drive and

support device, including the handles and controls. This aids inspection and helps prevent the machine or control from slipping from your grip.

3. Inspect the power drive for the following:

• Damage or modification to the cord and plug.

• Proper assembly, maintenance and completeness.

• Damaged, misaligned or binding parts.

• Proper operation of switch. Confirm that it cycles smoothly and does not stick.

• Presence and readability of warning labels (Fi gure 3).

• Any other condition which may prevent safe and normal operation. If any problems are found, do not use the power drive or support device until the problems have been repaired.

4. Inspect support arm. Make sure gripping teeth are

clean and in good condition. Teeth can be cleaned with a wire brush.

5. Inspect the cutting edges of the dies for wear, defor-

mation, chips or other issues. Dull or damaged cutting tools increase the amount of force required, produce poor quality threads and increase the risk of injury.

6. Inspect and maintain any other equipment being

used per its instructions to make it is sure functioning properly.

7. Following the Set-Up and Operation instructions,

check the power drive for proper operation.

• Depress and release the switch for FORWARD rotation and repeat for REVERSE rotation as shown in Figure 3. Confirm that the power drive rotates as shown in Figure 3 and that the switch controls the machine operation.

940-707-010.10_REV. G 5

700 Power Drive NOTICEAllow the power drive to come to a complete stop before reversing the direction with the switch button. This will reduce the risk of power drive damage.

• Depress and hold the switch button. Inspect the moving parts for misalignment, binding, odd noises or any other unusual conditions. Release the switch. If the machine does not operate correctly or any unusual conditions are found, do not use the machine until it has been repaired. Figure 3 – Switch Position for Rotational Direction

8. Release the switch button and with dry hands unplug

the machine. Set-Up and Operation WARNING Set up and operate the 700 Power Drive according to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from electric shock, entanglement, striking, crush- ing and other causes, and to help prevent power drive damage. When threading 1" (25mm) or larger pipe, use sup- port device to resist threading forces. Use an appro- priate support device per these instructions. Support devices improve control and reduce the risk of strik- ing, crushing, and/or other injuries. Always firmly hold the power drive when threading or backing die head off the pipe to resist threading forces, regardless of support device use. This will reduce the risk of striking, crushing and other injuries. Properly support pipe. This will reduce the risk of falling pipe, tipping and serious injury. Do not use a power drive without a properly oper- ating switch button. Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when oper- ating machines. Keep sleeves and jackets but- toned. Do not reach across the machine or pipe. Clothing can be caught by the pipe or machine resulting in entanglement. One person must control both the work process and the switch button. Do not operate with more than one person. In case of entanglement, the oper- ator must be in control of the switch.

1. Check work area for:

• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite. If present, do not work in area until sources have been identified and corrected. The power drives are not explosion proof and can cause sparks.

• Clear, level, stable, dry location for all equipment and operator.

• Good ventilation. Do not use extensively in small, enclosed areas.

• Properly wired electrical outlet of the correct voltage. If in doubt, have outlet inspected by a licensed electrician.

• Clear path to electrical outlet that does not contain any potential sources of damage for the power cord.

2. Inspect the pipe to be threaded and associated fittings

and confirm that the 700 Power Drive is a correct tool for the job. See Specifications. Equipment for other applications can be found in the Ridge Tool catalog, online at RIDGID.com or by call- ing Ridge Tool Technical Service in the U.S. and Canada at [phone]

3. Make sure equipment to be used has been properly

4. Properly prepare the pipe as needed. Make sure the

pipe is squarely cut and deburred. Pipe cut at an angle can damage the dies while threading or cause difficulty engaging the die head.

5. Make sure that pipe to be threaded is stable and

secured to prevent tipping during use. Use appropri- ate pipe stands to support pipe length.

6. Check the level of RIDGID Thread Cutting Oil in the

RIDGID 418 oiler. Remove the chip tray and confirm that the filter screen is clean and fully submerged in oil. Replace or add oil if necessary. Place the 418 Oiler bucket under the pipe end to be threaded. Installing Die Heads

1. Make sure the power drive is unplugged from the out-

ment), spline end first, squarely into the Power Drive until the spring-loaded drive pawls securely engage

1. Securely install the torque arm into the fan housing of

the 700 Power Drive. A 5" (127 mm) long piece of ½" schedule 80 steel pipe with a ½" NPT thread can also be used.

2. Place the RIDGID 12", 14" or 18" Heavy Duty Pipe

Wrench approximately 7" (175 mm) from the end of the pipe (see Figure 7). Test to confirm the wrench is secure, and will not fall or move.

3. When starting the thread, the torque arm will sit on the

pipe wrench handle. Figure 7 – Threading Using Pipe Wrench as a Support Arm the spline. (Figure 4). The die head or adapter can be inserted into either side of the power drive. In some cases, die heads/adapters may need to be rotated to allow the pawl to engage. 770 and 773 adapters must have the die head installed in the adapter prior to insertion in the Power Drive.

3. To remove, squarely pull die head from power drive. If

needed, use a soft face hammer or a block of wood to tap the die head out. Do not pound on the die head, this can damage the tool. Figure 4 – Installing Die Heads into 700 Power Drive Resisting Threading Forces (Support Devices) For right hand threads, die head will rotate clockwise (looking at the face of the Die Head). Forces developed by the threading torque will be in the opposite or counter-clock- wise direction. Rotation and force will be reversed for left hand threads. Make sure that the support device is set up to absorb and resist the threading force. Using the No. 775 Support Arm:

1. Support arm yoke hook can be assembled to either

side. Securely tighten hinge bolt.

2. Position the support arm on pipe so end of support

arm aligns with end of pipe and 700 Power Drive will be slightly above horizontal (Figure 5 and 6). This properly places the support arm for threading and prevents threading oil from running down power drive.

3. Make sure that the support arm jaws are squarely

aligned with the pipe and securely tighten the support arm. 700 Power Drive Torque Arm Wrench940-707-010.10_REV. G8 700 Power Drive Other Support Methods: Place the power drive motor housing (see Figure 1) a gainst an adjacent structural member (examples include walls, beams and joists). This requires that the pipe being thread- ed and surroundings are able to withstand the weight of the tool and the threading forces. It may be necessary to add temporary or permanent pipe supports or structural ele- ments to properly resist threading forces. For pipe ¾" diameter and smaller: Pipe ¾" and smaller nominal dimension can be threaded without the use of support device. In this case, the operator resists the threading forces. The pipe must be properly secured to prevent rotation. Always firmly hold the power drive when threading or backing die head off pipe to resist forces. This will reduce the risk of striking, crushing and other injuries. Threading

1. With dry hands, plug in the power drive.

2. Position the die head over the pipe end and support

the power drive as directed in the Resisting Threading Forces Section. Always keep the power drive against the support device. Do not put anything between the power drive and the support device – this increases the risk of pinching and crushing injuries.

3. Assume a proper operating position to help maintain

control of the machine (See Figure 9),

• Be sure you have good balance and do not have to overreach.

• Be sure you can control the switch button and machine. Do not depress switch yet. In case of emergency you must be able to release switch. Figure 8 – Starting the Thread

4. Simultaneously actuate the switch button (see Figure

3) and push against the die head cover plate with the

palm of free hand to start the thread (Figure 8). Do not wear gloves, jewelry or use a rag while pushing on the cover plate – this increases the risk of entanglement and injury. Once the dies engage the pipe, threads will be cut as the dies pull themselves onto the end of the pipe. Always firmly hold the power drive handle to resist the handle forces. Support devices can slip and allow the power drive to move. The switch button can be released at any time to shut OFF the power drive. Figure 9 – Threading Pipe

5. Stop pushing on cover plate and use oiler to apply a

generous quantity of RIDGID Thread Cutting Oil to the area being threaded. This will lower threading torque, improve thread quality and increase die life.

6. Keep switch depressed until end of the pipe is even

with edge of the dies (Figure 10). Watch to make sure Power Drive does not run into the support device. Release the switch button. Let the power drive come to a complete stop.Figure 10 – Pipe Even with Edge of Dies

7. Actuate the switch button in reverse direction to

remove die head from the threaded pipe. Hold onto the power drive handle firmly to resist the handle forces developed while breaking the thread chip and backing off the die head.

8. Release the switch and remove the power drive and

die head from the pipe.

9. With dry hands, unplug the power drive.

10. Wipe oil and debris off the threads and out of the die

head, taking care not to cut yourself on sharp debris or edges. Clean up any oil spills in the work area. Inspecting Threads

1. Remove any oil, chips or debris from the thread.

2. Visually inspect thread. Threads should be smooth

and complete, with good form. If issues such as thread tearing, thin threads, or pipe out-of-round- ness are observed, the thread may not seal when made up. Refer to the “Troubleshooting” chart for help in diagnosing these issues.

3. Inspect the size of the thread. The preferred method of

checking thread size is with a ring gauge. There are various styles of ring gauges, and their usage may dif- fer from that shown in Figure 11.

• Screw ring gauge onto the thread hand tight.

• Look at how far the pipe end extends through the ring gage. The end of the pipe should be flush with the side of the gauge plus or minus one turn. If thread does not gauge properly, cut off the thread, adjust the die head and cut another thread. Using a thread that does not gauge properly can cause leaks. Figure 11 – Checking Thread Size

• If a ring gauge is not available to inspect thread size, it is possible to use a new clean fitting repre- sentative of those used on the job to gauge thread size. For 2" and under NPT threads, the threads should be cut to obtain 4 to 5 turns to hand tight engagement with the fitting and for 2" and under BSPT threads it should be 3 turns. 700 Power Drive – Other Uses This manual contains specific instructions for the use of the 700 Power Drive to thread with various RIDGID die heads. When used with other RIDGID equipment (such as the RIDGID 258/258XL Power Pipe Cutter) follow the instruc- tions and warnings supplied with that RIDGID equipment on proper set up and use. Ridge Tool cannot provide specific instructions for every possible use for the 700 Power Drive. The user must evaluate the specific work scenario and use good work practices and methods. If there is any doubt about the use of the 700 Power Drive for these other purposes, do not use it. If using the 700 Power Drive for other purposes, careful- ly evaluate and prepare for the work using the general guidelines below. The 700 Power Drive will supply high torque and correspondingly high handle forces which can cause striking and crushing injuries.

• The RIDGID 774 Square Drive Adapter can be used to adapt the 700 Power Drive to turn a male 15/16" square. Securely attach the adapter to prevent it from detaching in use.

• An appropriate method to withstand all handle forces must be developed (See “Resisting Handle Forces” section). Forces could exceed 1000 lbs (455 kg). Sup - port devices can be placed against the motor housing or fan housing of the 700 Power Drive (Figure 1).

• Always keep the power drive against the support device – do not place body parts between the power drive and the support device.

• There should be no relative movement between the power drive and the support device during use.

D• Confirm that the application (such as operating or exercising a valve) is free to turn, not jammed and that the ends of travel are known. If the system jams or goes solid during use, handle forces will increase abruptly and significantly or the power drive may rotate.

• If using to exercise or operate valves or other equip- ment, follow all equipment manufacturer instructions. Do not overload the equipment.

• Use such that the 700 Power Drive reaction force pulls away from the user.

• Release the switch button at any time to shut off the power drive. Make sure that you are able to release the switch button. Maintenance Instructions WARNING Make sure that the switch button is released and the machine is unplugged before performing any maintenance or making any adjustments. Maintain tool according to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from electrical shock, entanglement and other causes. Cleaning
